Country list - Country names with definite articles (e.g. "the United Kingdom"). was created by CoeusProject
Dear All:
I have a quick question about my survey and I couldn't find any answer in this forum.
In my survey I ask the respondents in a question about their nationality. They will have a list of countries to choose from.
In a later question I want to use this information in the text. For example, if a respondent is from Spain, the question would be something like "Do you think that Spain should do this or that?"
However, some countries have a definite article (e.g. the Netherlands, the United States etc). On the one hand, it may look strange to use this article in the list of countries to choose from. But, on the other hand, I need this article for grammatically correct questions.
Is there a way that the list of countries says e.g. "United States", but the question "the United States"?
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

No, I don't think so. The only chance that I see is that you could create a second list of countries, this time with "The...", have it hidden, mark the answer given in the first list also in the second list via Expression Manager and then pipe the text from the second hidden question into the question text, using .shown.

That's a clever idea. I didn't think about that. Thanks a lot.

You could also pipe in the article dynamically with Expression Manager.
